I installed a Rockford Fosgate RFX9200 receiver into my '90 corolla, i think i wired everything correctly and it turns on, but there is no sound. Was there a shortage? Is it possible that there's a fuse for the speakers that blew out? Someone please help me. Thanks.

I think I'd covered this on the CAC forums.
check the wire color codes on this site to be sure you got it wired properly.

Make sure all the speaker wires are properly connected, and that none of them are touching any bare metal in the car or each other. If this happens, the internal amp of the head unit automatically turns off to protect from shorts, but the unit itself will still stay on and appear to function normally (except for the lack of sound obviously).

i doubt this but.....do you know if the factory radio had an external amplifer, if so, make you you power the blue remote wire w/ 12v to turn on the amp---this is only if you are using the existing wiring. -Cy

his problem, if I am right, is his ground.
corollas don't have a factory ground wire for the radio, stock. it's a floating ground system.
he needs to ground the stereo to bare chassis metal instead, directly.
